Oreo Dump Cake Ingredients

Ingredients laid out in bowls for Taste of Home's Oreo Dump Cake.Jonathan Melendez for Taste of Home

  • Oreo cookies: The Oreos are the main event here, adding their distinct flavor, texture and sweetness. Use 24 Oreos for one cake.
  • Sweetened condensed milk: You need 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, which is a common can size for condensed milk, so look for the appropriate amount.
  • Frozen whipped topping: This dump cake calls for one 8-ounce carton of whipped topping that has been fully thawed.
  • Chocolate chips: Opt for semisweet chocolate chips, as there is enough chocolaty and sugary goodness going on in this recipe already.
  • Chocolate fudge cake mix: Basically any brand of  chocolate fudge cake mix works fine here, provided it is a standard size of 13.25 ounces.
  • Cold butter: The butter needs to be cubed, so chop it up as soon as you get it out of the fridge, and don’t do that until shortly before you’re going to use it.
  • Optional: Whipped cream and chocolate sauce toppings are not required, but they are highly recommended.

Directions

Step 1: Spread out the Oreos

Oreo Dump Cake Variations

  • Try different Oreos: There are so many different variations of Oreo cookies out there, and many make a great dump cake. You can try Maple Creme Oreos, Peanut Butter Oreos, Vanilla and so many more.
  • Use a different cake mix: Just like you can mix up the Oreo type, you can try this dump cake with different cake mixes. Might we suggest a red velvet cake mix for a true winner?
  • Top it with crumbled cookies: If you’re a true Oreo lover, then crumble up some fresh cookies and sprinkle them over the baked cake right before you serve it.

How to Store Oreo Dump Cake

Oreo cookie dump cake is truly at its best when served fresh and warm, but from a food safety standpoint, it can be stored at room temperature for up to two days, and in the fridge for five. Either way, secure it in airtight packaging before you put it away.

Can you freeze Oreo dump cake?

It’s not an ideal frozen cake, texture-wise, but to avoid food waste, you can cover individual portions with airtight wrap and freeze them for up to three months. Thaw them overnight and then microwave each piece for 30 seconds before eating it.

Can I use a sugar-free cake mix?

Sure, that’s a fine way to prepare this recipe for Oreo dump cake with less sugar, just don’t change any other parts of the recipe.

How do I serve dump cake from the baking dish?

Rather than using traditional cake serving tools, instead serve this cake using a large spoon, such as you’d use to serve heaping portions of rice.

What do I do if my cake is powdery on top?

If there are powdery spots atop your dump cake, add more butter. Place small cubes of butter directly atop the powdery areas, then bake the cake for several more minutes.
